hi lyle
thanks for the quick reply
This has meant learning C and working with the FastCGI people. As with any
open source effort, I've been delayed on this as my time is stretch out very
thing at the moment.
I appreciate your work and effort, but I have to ask you what do you
think of the alert at the head of the mentioned wiki page [1] that
says:
"FCGI::IIS is a dirty hack and does nothing really, and none of the
MVC frameworks can use it. It requires the code be re-read and execed
on each request, effectively it only caches the perl exe."
Which part of this statement - if anything at all - is true?
Lol, missed that bit. The "does nothing really" and "caches the perl
exe" contradict quite a bit :) Probably a comment from one of my LPM fans.
Like I said you can use it to see how to make your Perl scripts use
FastCGI under IIS. Until I fully understand FCGI and it's finished the
module won't work with a lot of programs.
In order to be able to let any Perl script not designed for FCGI, to be
able to run with the Perl exe being persistant, they have to be reloaded
on each request and the symbol table needs to be wiped.
If you design your scripts to use FCGI then you don't need my module.
But at the time in the IIS forums people were asking for a way to be
able to use FCGI with Perl, the way they could use it with PHP. That was
what I was trying to create, hopefully one day I'll get chance to finish it.
